Medico-legal examination

A medico-legal examination is a detailed assessment performed by a healthcare professional to document injuries, medical conditions, or evidence relevant to legal cases, such as assaults, accidents, or disputes. The examination involves carefully recording physical findings, collecting evidence like photographs or samples, and providing an unbiased report. This process helps ensure that health issues are properly documented for legal proceedings, protecting both the individual’s rights and the integrity of the case. It is conducted with professionalism, confidentiality, and adherence to legal standards to support justice.
